If you go by katakana, it should be Munemosyune/Munemoshune (same thing, different romanization), but the greek god in question is rightly spelled Mνημοσύνη or romanized Mnemosine/Mnemosyne. Take your pick or just go with the official romanization (the wisest choice, IMO).

The Mnemosyne -Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi- anime seiyuu (animation voice actors) for Lola (Lora, Loura, Laura, whatever), Oohara Sayaka, and Yamanobe Sayara (she has six kanji in her name), Tanaka Rie, made their appearance in episode 17 of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai this week. Oohara Sayaka voices Rika's mother (Rika mama), while Tanaka Rie voices the mysterious, long- and silver-haired woman (Nomura/Takagi) who, in design and in voice, unmistakably reminds all too many of another famous Tanaka Rie character in Rozen Maiden.

Tanaka Rie's character in Higurashi Kai has caused quite a stir and a lot of chatter on Higurashi and various other threads at Japan's huge 2ch forums, from anime boards to game boards to voice boards. The Higurashi staff, one Japanese viewer says, is paying homage to Tanaka Rie and her now legendary acting performance as Suigintou, affectionately known as "Ginsama."

Tanaka Rie is very happy to play Sayara, who she describes as a considerably sadistic character and a "kowai [scary] oneesan."

Yamanobe Sayara appears to be another one in Tanaka Rie's evergrowing line of antagonistic, evil, and villainous roles: Morganna Mode Gone in .hack//SIGN, Suigintou in Rozen Maiden, Tomoe Marguerite in My-Otome, Nomura/Takagi in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, etc.

Anime images from goo support Yamanobe Sayara's description as a sadist.

Seiyuu seem to fit their characters well. Rin appears to be in her mid twenties, but her actual age is unknown. Mimi appears to be in her late teens, but her actual age is also unknown. Laura looks her age. Apos is a boy. Sayara is evil.

The manga was serialized in the shoujo manga magazine Stencil (which got defunct), and only 1 volume of it got released. The manga series is un-finished, and there's still no info if it will be continued or not.

A Persona 3 TV anime was just announced on MOON PHASE. The anime will be titled PERSONA -trinity soul-. It's scheduled to air sometime in January from Tokyo MX TV, MBS, CBC, TeleTama, TV Kadokawa, Chiba TV, Animax, BS11.

This will be an original story unfolding 10 years after the story of the original PS2 game. It will talk about around corpses called Reverses whose skin turned inside out (not sure if we're talking about dead bodies or zombies). Anyway, creepy stuff.

According to Famitsu, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3, the Atlus video game for Sony PlayStation 2, will be animated. Apparently set 10 years after events in the game, the Persona 3 television animation series is slated to air in Japan starting from January 2008.

In the Sunday, September 30, 2007 entry on her blog, Tanaka Rie indicates that she has landed a lot of regular roles in anime and will announce them later.

Because Yamanobe Sayara in Mnemosyne -Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi- has been about the only major regular role in anime confirmed since that announcement on her blog, Tanaka Rie (Kirijou Mitsuru) likely will be one of the Japanese voice actors in the Persona 3 game reprising their roles in the Persona 3 anime. Some of the other seiyuu from the original Japanese cast in the game may also be reprising their roles in the anime.
